The Beginning of Panlong: Three Realms in Vertical and Horizontal

But soon the four of them recovered their spirits. After all, there was nothing they could do, so they didn't think too much about it. Quan was just an episode.

The four of them wandered all the way. Wright didn't know much about the business district of the West End, but Maui learned alchemy, Burke tried his best, and bought a lot of things in the business district.But the two of them also discovered that the things peddled on the black market are very different from those in the commercial district.

The first is cheap. The price of the same commodity on the black market is at most 60% to 70% of the commercial area.

The second is that more than one-third of the commodities in the underground black market are illegal.

Of course, there are many kinds of illegal products. Some illegal commodities are prohibited because of their own prohibition, while others are caused by problems in the way of obtaining them, or stolen goods.

For example, Wright and others passed by a seemingly whole pharmacy. In addition to normal medicines, this pharmacy was actually selling Angel Dust.Angel Dust is a drug created by alchemy that is highly addictive and causes mental disorders for users.However, it can only be absorbed by the magician during meditation, and it cannot be absorbed by ordinary soldiers.

This medicine is notorious among magicians.If the medicine dared to be sold in the Western District, the First Magic Academy would directly send guards and teachers to arrest the pharmacy staff and destroy the medicine.

However, in the underground black market, the staff of this drugstore did not shy away from selling them publicly, and even peddled them to Wright.

Naturally, Wright and others didn't show him a good face, and even Burke wrote down his face and prepared to report it back to the college.Although the academy will certainly not interfere with the internal affairs of the black market, if this person is found outside the black market, he will definitely be arrested by the academy for questioning.If'Angel Dust' is found outside the black market, it will be over.

And there are some commodities, which obviously come from the wrong way, such as the standard armors of the eight major legions of the empire, such as the precious artworks of the royal family-but it is also impossible to say, maybe the military leaders and the royal family members secretly sold them to earn some points. What about the money.

"It's because of the wrong way, so it's cheap!" Carl said with some emotion: "These underground black market merchants, even many are wanted criminals, but as long as they don't leave, the empire will rarely be embarrassed. Of course. It means that the crime is not too big. After all, this black market was only established with the acquiescence of all the forces in the empire, and it has the purpose of slightly appeasing some uncontrolled strong. It really wants to provoke the powerful forces in the empire. It’s not that the black market has been flattened out!"

At this moment, the four of them were sitting at the entrance of a tavern hundreds of meters away from the'touring theater'. Of course, none of them drank alcohol, and they still had to be a little wary in the black market.

Soon, the cage war in the touring theater will begin.

Chapter 31 The Battle of the Cage

The touring theater is just a name.Although Wright has not seen it in any theater, he also knows that the real theater will never be an iron cage about five meters high and less than eight meters wide.

This huge iron cage with a simple surface is the so-called "touring theater" in the black market.Wright could see the black blood coagulated inside and around the iron cage, and there were still many beasts' hair remaining.And on the bottom of the iron cage, this magic circle about five square meters in size is portrayed, and a steady stream of lightning elements converge and connect the iron cage.

"Behind this touring theater is actually the Duke of Bard's family. You know that the cost of the battle of the cage is very high. Have you seen that magic circle? It is said that several 9th-level magisters jointly portrayed the prisoner. The people in the cage cannot escape!"

And the fees for watching here are not low...Ordinary people need 100 gold coins to watch it once.This is a very huge source of financial resources."Carl said softly with Wright and the other three. "Don't worry, I have spent a lot of improvement. This includes the full audience every year. It is no problem to bring a few friends to watch."

"Boss, who are the members of this cage battle?" Burke asked, "I heard that there are special gladiatorial slaves who are masters of the war with the Magnolia Empire."

"There are still very few strong slaves. Unless they are masters captured in the war with the Magnolia Empire, it is enough for ordinary people to be captured and used as slaves. It is almost impossible for the strong domestic ones to be captured and used as slaves! It has been a long time since we and the Magnolia Empire have fought a large-scale war. Most of those who fight the cage war are voluntary!"

"Voluntary?" The three of them were a little surprised.

"Most, I'm talking about most. Those who enter the cage battle are for money. In a cage battle, the winner can get 10% of the wealth, and the loser can get half!"

"Although most of the failures are death, the money will also be sent to the family. Touring theaters are still very particular about this aspect. Sixth-level fighters are mainly engaged in cage wars. How much money can a sixth-level fighter earn in a year? 1,000 gold coins It’s amazing. But after a cage battle, usually at least two hundred people pay to watch, and if they win, they can get 2000 gold coins. Of course some people are purely for wealth and pleasure, some are forced to pay off debts, and some People are to spend money to buy some items that assist breakthrough!"

"Of course, there are also a few strong people who are trying to break through. I know that about two years ago, there was a genius soldier from the Royal Knights Academy who came here, and his age is about ours. Fighting continuously with the strength of a sixth-level fighter After ten games, in the end, it was even more demanding to fight against a seven-level monster, and finally broke through in the battle and reached level seven! It was a good story at the time."

"A seventh-level fighter, two years ago, that was not a seventeen-year-old seventh-level fighter... Although the fighters practice faster, the level of genius is estimated to be about the same as Wright!" Maui said with some surprise.

"Yes, it's a pity to die!"

"died?"

"Well, I died when I went out to practice... It is said that I ate poisonous food and died during the practice. I remember that the Royal Knights Academy also wrote this as a typical case in the textbook, and taught students not to patronize the practice of fighting spirit. ,"

Wright, Burke, and Maui: "What a poor genius!"

The four of them chatted quietly, which was a rare relaxation for Wright, but soon, the battle of the cage would begin.

A tall and sturdy man with draped hair came to the iron cage and announced loudly.

"Everyone, I will preside over today's cage battle. I am the Chetton of the Bard family! Many people here know me compared to others.

"To make a long story short, let me first introduce the two of today's prison battle."

"The squadron leader of the Magnolia Empire's Roaring Legion, Mr. Coulson!" A man in rags and shackles walked into the cage.

"Everyone, Mr. Coulson was captured and reduced to a slave in the war between our great empire and the Magnolia Empire---according to our rules in the war of trapped dragons, as long as Mr. Coulson won ten times in a row in the war of trapped dragons. , You will be free! Now, he has won nine games! This means that the enemy he faces this time will be stronger than ever!"

"Wow!"

"Coulson blasted your opponent's head!"

"Magnolia people go to die!"

"Long live the empire!"

The surrounding audience cheered one by one, and it was clearly divided into two factions.

One faction obviously admires this soldier who can fight and defeat masters of the same level nine times. Even soldiers from enemy countries are worthy of respect.

The other faction may be called the'Great Puangism' and hates Coulson as an enemy.

And the soldier from the enemy country was very calm and indifferent, without being disturbed by the outside world, step by step into the cage.Wright even noticed that every step of his distance was exactly the same.

"Good luck. The tenth game of this kind of gladiatorial slaves must be very fierce!" Carl explained: "According to the rules, the general battle is one-on-one. Only this tenth fight, the organizer may arrange A one-to-many battle. For him, it’s one step from heaven and one step from hell. If he wins, he can be released directly to become a citizen of our Puang Empire, or the Bud family can arrange him to return to the Magnolia Empire. If he loses, he will basically die. Undoubted."

At the same time, the above Chetton also began to introduce the other party: "And today, our opponent, Mr. Coulson, is it~"

Four powerful warriors came behind him, they all carried a box together, the surface of which was covered by canvas.

As Chetton pulled the canvas apart, a vigorous monster appeared in front of everyone.

"His! It's actually a Warcraft"

"Golden Leopard, Level 7 Beast?"

"It shouldn't be. If it's a level seven monster, it's meaningless at all!"

"Looking at the size, it should be a golden leopard that is close to adult. It is the pinnacle of level six!"

"The beasts of the same level are stronger than our fighters, and the golden leopard is a seventh-level beast in adulthood. I am afraid it is stronger than the normal sixth-level beast."

"Hey, I'm going to lose now. I thought Coulson would be free."

"Not necessarily. Being underage means that this golden leopard is inexperienced, and the leopard monster is good at speed. The battle of the cage has a great influence on speed... But even so, Coulson is very dangerous! "This is an old mercenary with a face full of vicissitudes, and his evaluation has been approved by many people.

And Wright and others are also discussing carefully, and among the four with relatively good experience, only Burke, who has experienced breakthroughs.

"Burke, which one of the two sides is more likely to win?" Wright asked.

Burke stroked his clean shaved beard: "I guess, it's the golden leopard... even if it's not fully grown up, it's a very powerful monster."

"This is indeed the case. It is very rare for a gladiatorial slave who can win ten times in a row and then be free. The organizers cannot allow him to be free easily." Karl also added.

"Is it impossible to win?" Maui had a different opinion: "I think this Coulson is very strong."

"It's not impossible!" Wright also nodded in agreement: "It can be seen from his actions that he is very strong in fighting skills and calm enough. Although the overall strength needs to be written, it is not impossible to come back."
